Aren’t you relieved to get past the annual flurry of media bites that drag us through a retrospective of the past year as if we hadn’t lived through it too? How about advice ad nauseam for resolutions and goals?
I was talking to God down at the lake on the first day of January (me and God are tight and on a first-name basis), and I began the conversation by wishing God a Happy New Year. It made both of us laugh. The Creator-of-all-that-is does not keep time, probably doesn’t know what time is. Time is one of our constructs. We take a big stick of timelessness and chop it up like a carrot into bits and pieces that are meaningful for us. I mean, who else in the universe takes note of when the Earth has made a full revolution around the sun? Not even the sun takes notice.
So time is........
